Hello to all you star starers
You probably heard that it was a rough week for the entertainment industry. In a span of a couple of days and miles apart, California lost three large entertainers. My mom has said that death comes in three. First was Ed Mcmahon dying. Apparently he had been sick for quite awhile. Then the news of Farrah Fawcett's death. Yesterday afternoon, west coast time, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, had his stop.
Of course the news industry and apparently the social networking sites jumped on these deaths like there was no tomorrow. These were pretty famous people. They each rose to a level that broke the way for people to follow. Mcmahon gave the number two guy a shot a fame. Fawcett was a leading lady in her day. Jackson redefined the music industry. These stars are had there battles, but the great ones, and the most eccentric, always do.
It does surprise me the amount of coverage. The coverage was non-stop. It is amazing the amount of speculation that goes into the first hours of coverage. I guess because it is early and none of the facts have been established. I am not a journalist, but it seems the longest airing time stories are the ones that have the least facts known. I guess people do love sensationalism. I do until the saturation point.
Those three stars will be missed, especially by the tabloids. Although they have not been in the public much recently, there names will be remembered in history or least trivia games. I have to admit they did have talent and knew how to entertain.
